Picture Credit: www.tiffanymalloy.com Hi Blog People, I guess it would be pretty rude of me to give you an angry carrot with a stick to look at and then not explain it. Oh, well… it’s my blog post, not yours. Just kidding So, on my homework, problem 7 read something like this: Amy has {insert…
All state’s great! All state’s fun! All state is for everyone! (Remember this, Colin?) Yes, indeed. I got my All State music this week. This year, they didn’t tell us who the director is yet, but she must really like old classical songs. There’s not a single contemporary song in my folder like last year.…
Today, I fold an origami stinkbug designed by John Montroll today; although I generally don’t like Montroll models since they are neither realistic or impressionistic and all look the same because they all use the same base, I made an exception for the stinkbug because it has a neat folding sequence, and I probably…

^^A basketball, which will become relevant in about 175 words^^ Hi blog people, I have to make this post quick; math class starts in less than an hour. In honor of Cecilia, I will endeavor to have all of my sentences be gramatically correct. Don’t be surprised if this sparks a large and heated debate…
I know it is late at night, but not late technically. I have another hour or so to go. I don’t know what’s up with projects, but the teachers at my school seem to all give projects at once. In science, we have to make a model of an atom, in English we have to perform a…
